Hadassah means compassion. Our ministry is called Hadassah's Hope because of the compassion we hold for others and the HOPE we have in JESUS.
OUR MISSION
To reach and restore sexually exploited and trafficked women in the adult entertainment industry by sharing the Hope and Love of Jesus
COMMUNITY IMPACTS OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS
OUR MODEL IS SIMPLE
Why - To bring the light into the darkest places in Jacksonville and Georgia. These women are often marginalized and shamed, based on how and why they ended up working in the adult entertainment industry. They feel defined by their circumstances, abuse, decisions, and feel hopeless. We know, and we want them to know, that they were created for purpose on purpose. We want them to meet Jesus and to see themselves as he sees them. This is where transformation begins.
How - By demonstrating in action the hope and love of Jesus through serving, loving, seeing, and caring for women who are sexually exploited and trafficked.
What - Visit local strip clubs weekly as well as reaching out to women who have posted ads online. Serve a meal or deliver a gift. Listen to their stories, pray over them or even offer them a seat at the table. Invite them to the Hope House for a warm meal and resources. Offer transformation through case management, counseling, Bible study, internships, life skill training and through community.
There are currently local community partners, law enforcement, hospitals and city officials partnering up to disrupt the demand in our city by 2032.
HOW ARE WE FIGHTING AGAINST THIS?
HOW DO WE RESPOND?
Consistent presence in the clubs, reaching women online and providing resources while sharing the Gospel in the darkest places. We offer hope and love with no strings attached.
